General Mach Discussion / phantom limit switch
« on: March 08, 2008, 12:41:20 AM »
Just finished our build on our first CNC router, trying to get it up and running and keep getting a limiit switch triggered stop. I have all limits hooked up through my campbell BOB and test out fine on the diagnostics page. But if you sit there and stare it for a while you see a limit mysteriously light up and instantly go back out. Any suggestions??
Also, I'm getting very poor movement (jerky and slow) from my motors regardless of Velocity and Accel settings. I'm using Gecko 201 and have 1.8degree stepper motors and have it set to 2000 steps per(10 tpi x 200 rev), to the best of my knowledge this is correct. Any suggestions as to what the step pulse and DIR settings should be for the 201 drives??
